Welcome to Application Systems Programming, the second course in the Unity Certified Programmer Specialization from Unity Technologies.
This course will help you prepare for the Unity Certified Programmer exam, the professional certification for entry to mid-level Unity programmers. Unity is used to create real-time 3D applications for many industries, including video games, automotive, film, training, and more. In this course, you will be challenged to solve realistic Unity programming problems that are aligned to topics covered on the exam. Throughout the second course, you will expand upon the development of a 2D action video game that was started in the first course: AsteraX. In doing so, you will practice many of the skills covered in the exam, including adding particles effects, implementing user customizations, managing user and application data, and optimizing for different platforms.
This is an intermediate course, intended for people who are ready for their first paying roles as Unity programmers, or enthusiasts who would like to verify their skills against a professional standard. To succeed, you should have at least 1-2 years of experience programming interactive applications in Unity. You should be proficient at programming in the C# language and familiar with Unity's scripting APIs. You should have experience in the full product development lifecycle, from concept to launch (and beyond). And you should understand multi-platform development, including deploying applications to XR (AR and VR) platforms.

Optimizing for Performance and Platforms

Let's assume this week that the application is relatively complete and you're ready to launch it to the public. Instead of releasing it blindly, however, you're going to wire it up to Unity Analytics and RemoteSettings, which will allow you to track user progression and update the game difficulty in an agile fashion without releasing a new version. For your final challenge of this course, you'll prepare a mobile version of the game with the appropriate inputs and optimizations.
